Click the “Multi-Zone Toggle” on the “Home” page interface to open the sound zone setting operation. The front and rear sound sources of Zone One and Zone Two can be matched. For instance, set zone one sound field from CH1-CH6 and select “Hi.Level” as the main source. In zone two, set the rear sound field from CH7-CH12 and select “Optical” as the main source. This means that CH1-CH6 will play high level audio and CH7-CH12 will play through optical input.
